“Naturally we are thrilled by the response rate of the Local Tech Wire campaign. However, our methodologies have delivered on average a 3X response rate for hundreds of campaigns to date,” said Peter Nyberg, President and CEO of ingage.

The ability to combine sound, video and graphics with powerful tracking analytics at both the individual user and aggregate level is an unbeatable combination as companies demand accountability from marketing campaigns.
